Sword and shield. (Clinton, Miss.) 1885-1888, 1887-04-30

When she saw the shinplaster she
turned her great eyes up to mine as
though almost stunned by my princely
generosity, seized my hand and kissed
It, turned and yelled "caramba" to
same more little half-naked rascals,
and away they went to a cigaret-shop.
The porter said she is the worst one in
the business.
A quiet old gentleman from Albany
was sitting near me, and woman
leading two children and carrying an
other upon her head approached him
and held out her hand. He put 10
cent piece in it, and with stately grace
she knelt, kissed his hand, and called
down blessing upon his head, saying:
''Ah, Senior, que dischoso soy!" which
comes pretty near meaning, "Ah, sir,
how happy l ami"
When she knelt in that solemn way,
with young one kneeling at either
side, and raised her eyes to heaven,
whereat the baby on her head nearly
fell off, and held to the hand of the
modest old gentleman from Albany,
the group was the center of observa-
ton, and the modest old gentleman
got red in the face and looked pain
fully embarrassed.
The soft, sweet bastard Latin of the
Spanish tongue is as superior to the
Anglo-Saxon in begging as it is in love-
making. 1t is very hard in any ex-
tremes of feeling or emotion to say all
you mean in Anglo-Saxon, but it is a
good deal harder to mean all you can
say in Spanish. In any event, the
Spaniard scorns the positive, deals gin
gerly with the comparative, but reyels
in the superlative. When he tells his
girl she is the most beautiful creature
that ever did or ever can exist in
Gods universe he isn't even satisfied
with the superlative. He goes it one
better with an intensive and an affix
and delirious protestations and Oaths,
and adds hundred gestures to show
how utterly even then the description
fails to do her justice, and poor and
miserable thing the superlative really
is as regards her.-HavGnG Letter.

Young Logan at West Point.

Most young people would enjoy .
visit to West Point, where the military
school is located in which our army
officers are educated, but few of them
would like the severe discipline and re-
straint of the place. The cadets look
very pretty in their handsome suits,
which show their forms to the best adj
vantage, but life at ''the post" as it is
called, is very serious business:
Many lad has gone there and found
this out to his sorrow. Young Logan,
who was married recently to wealthy
lady of Youngstown, o., was one OF
the number. Lucky fellow, he now
has rich father-in-law, who has taken
him into partnership, and his lines will
be much easier than they would have
been in the army.
Did you ever hear of boy changing
his name? OF course, girls dO-when
they marry some other girls brother
but it is usual that the boys keep the
name they are given at birth to the
end of their days. Young Logan was
an exception, however. When he was
in West Point academy he was known
as Manning Logan; but when his
father, the famous general anu son
ator, died, last winter, he changed his
name to that of his father-John A.
Logan. This young man went into
West Point about the time his father
was nominated for vice-president ana
exhibited considerable elation and d
high silk hat. He was promptly re-
lieved of both. A squad of third-class
men seized him one night, perched him
upon the mantel-piece, turned a coal
scuttle over his head, put water
bucket on that, surrounded by cav
airy helmet, with the high hat crown
ing the edifce. Thus accoutered he
was made to sing ''Im Getting Big
Boy Now" until he pleaded for mercy.
This was not wholly effectual, though,
and day or two afterward tall and
ferocious-looking first-class man went
up to him and told him he was wanted
to join a theatrical company. Ten
minutes afterward little Logan, com
pletely terrorized, was sitting in the
! first-class mans room sewing buttons
on dilapidated jacket, while its owner
assured him he was bound to make
great hit as the funny man of the thea

An Indian child born recently in Big
Valley Shasta county, California, is
possessed of six well-formed toes on
each foot and the same number OF
fingers on each hand, besides having
both sides of its face covered with halr.
The mother gave birth to child about
a year ago marked in a similar man
ner. But it sickened and died, and
this last is in fair way of taking the
same road.
At Ansonia, Conn, few days ago
a clergyman married couple and
afterward discovered that the license
had been issued in another town. In
great perturbation over what he con-
sidered an illegal marriage, he hunted
up the couple, who thought they were
living in lawful wedlock, and insisted
upon marrying them again in the
proper town.
Another change in the tastes of the
book loving public has been discovered
by the acute English publishers. In
stead of the dry character-p picturing tie-
ton, the age demands more vigorous
and more imaginative form of htera-
ture. The demand is for novels of incl
dent, novels of the romantic school
There is a reaction against the aesthetic
school. Anoyel must be extremely good
Of which ten thousand copies are sold.

1ongfeIIow and His Publisher.

A correspondent of The Critic, who
says that in 1910 he was editor of
monthly magazine published in New
York, to which Longfellow had agreed
to furnish occasional short poems at
the rate Of $14 each, thus tells the
story of how Excelsior" thus fur
nished, impressed the publisher: Zone
morning, as l entered the Office in
William street, the publisher hailed
me from his desk near the door, with:
sL-l-l-look here, H; s-s-s-see what
a confounded piece Of nonsense Long
fellow has sent me! Je-je-je-just listen
to this Then he proceeded to read
the first stanza of the poem, his indig
nation and his oft-recurring stutter
uniting in display of elocution the
like of which, we may safely presume,
the lyric has never since been the sub
iect of. But it was on the word 'Ex-
celsior, of the meaning of which he
had not the slightest conception, that
he vented the full volume of his wrath.
Pronouncing it 'Ex-shell-shor.' he ut
tered it with an expression of wither-
ing contempt. There, he said Il omit
the stuttering), did You ever hear any
thing equal to that? Now, just listen
to another verse? Then he read the
second stanza as he had done the first,
and, passionately folding the manu-
script, said: i wonder if Longfellow
thinks he can gouge $14 out of me for
such piece of internal trash as that?
I'm not such a fool, can tell him, and
I'll send it back and give him piece
of nv mind ="

PICTURES OF CUBAN LIFE
Scantiness of Dress-ImpOrtunate and
Thankful Beggars.


The carelessness in regard to dresses
causes some exhibitions that are at
first little startling to people OF a
colder cline. But dress, like every
thing else in life ordained by man, is
mere conventionality and matter of
''habit." We all know, of course, that
the Grecians, when they were at the
highest point of civilization and refine
ment ever reached, deemed it sin
and outrage for man or woman to
sshide the beautiful limbs the gods
had given them" In Havana it is not
a matter of beautiful limbs, but of COM
fort, and the higher class of people
think no more of negro or cody
with nothing on but a breech-clout
than they would of seeing mule with
nothing on but a halter. In all the
stores and shops the clerks are in their
shirt-sleeves, and in most cases they
wear nothing above their white linen
trousers but a gauze undershirt. The
children up to FIVE or six or even more
wears of age wear no clothes when
ah0ut the house, and naked Cuban
younpster can accumulate dirt enough
TO start a real estate boom. Most of
the workingmen wear their shirts out
side of the trousers, and the negro
women 90 about with baskets and bum
dies upon their heads, wearing single
garment, a loose-titting calico gown,
generally of bright colors, which slips
down, uncoyering their shoulders and
bosoms whenever they lower their
hands or take down their burdens.
But they are hardly recognized as hui
man beings.
Passing through street in our ram
bles about the poorer part of the city
we saw an old black beggar man asleep
on the pavement, in the hot sun, and
his sole garment was a short shirt.
Speaking of beggars. OF course,
under such condition of things as ex-
lists in Havana, there are many OF
them. There are good many to
bother you when you sit in front Of
the hotel. But they are nothing IN
numbers, Importantly, or insolence,
compared with the beggars in front o.
Liverpool hotel, or, so far as num-
bers 90, anywhere in Ireland.
The beggar-girls merely hold ou
their hand and petition you with theil
wonderful eyes. Articulate speech i
a poor recourse compared with sucl
ewes. One dark-eyed, dark-skinneC
little vagabond, held out her dirty Lit
tie paw to me and gave me such a look
1t was prayer, petitions; it was tul

derness, hope, and untold woe. Sh'

There is not an unmarried woman in
Turkey who can both read and write

The Providence journal relates the
story of an Irishman who occupied a
chair in barber-shop recently while
very sleepy. His eyes could not be
kept open, and his head tumbled about
and dropped upon his shoulder and
down upon his breast in manner that
made shaving difficult operation for
the knight of the lather and danger

The new Turkish Minister to the
United States, Maroqueni Bey, is
spoken of in one of the newspapers as
ga dignifed and handsome Turk" No
doubt he is a Turkish subject, but, OF
course, he is a Greek. The genuine
Moslem is not found in diplomatic SER
vice to any great extent. The Turk
has no taste for that kind of service,
and, besides, is averse to leaving home.
He prefers to remain where he can
get his bearings on Mecca in short or

FARMER S ALLIANCE.

This newly organized Institution is
getting quite footing in the neighbor-
hood of McCool. Already no less than
three healthy and well developed Clubs
have put in their appearance and seem
to know tolerably we'll what they want
with an evident intention of asking for
it. What influence they will exert upon
the merchantile interest no one seems
proposed to say just now. tits manifest
however, that the farmer intends to
protect his interest from the high tariff
to which his single handed and disjoint-
ed methods in the past have subjected
him. 1t is also evident that the mate
rial well being of this country is almost,
if not entirely dependent upon the sue
cess of its agricultural interests. It is
to be hoped therefore that the Farmers
Alliance will prove helpful.

STAFF CORRESPONDENCE.
McCOOL, MISS.

Coins from Kosciusko to Aberdeen,
the first town of any importance on the
Canton, Aberdeen, & Nashville road, is
McCool. Some pronounce it Muc Cool.
1t received its name from Hon. Jas. 1.
McCool, one Of Kosciusko's foremost
lawyers
Thirty-6ve years or more ago the
gay and guileless red man woke the
echoes in his game Of "hide and seek"
played with an antelope on one side and
Indian on the other, over the hill on
which this city is set. The wigwam is
gone aud so is the antelope, the Indian
is dafunct, Dancing Rabbits camp
ground is thing of the past. and his
brother in white is here and is here to
stay till the Ship Island Railroad is
built.
With population less than that of
Memphis, and with fewer street railways,
Government buildings, mammoth stone
business houses, water-works, beautiful
parks, palatial residences, cathe trails.
oil mills, foundries, ct cetera, McCool
enjoys good solid trade, and has mu-
nicipal government, the finest fishing,
finest water and the finest orange trade
of any town perhaps on the road. From
what we heard of the effects of these
oranges upon the unsuspecting citizen
who INDUCES his appetite too freely, we
incline to the candid conclusion that
they must be powerful peculiar. y
Like great many otheD young and
growing towns, McCool overdid itself at
the frst-was pulled too green as it were,
and is smaller now than when first built.
In addition to the natural advantages Of
a good trade, good location, good busi-
ness men, etc.,l there are two ether
reasons for the opinion that this is dcs
tined to be city. They have had fire
and now have feud. When first clas;
fire fails to build a town up, gooC
healthy feud will put the finishing
touch on. And strange to say most
towns think they are good things fol
s1me other towns to have.
Messrs. G. +. Colbert, N. A. Winter.
and NJ. L. Boswell, are the leading
merchants. H. HI, Davis and Ber
Clark are the NJ. DIS. Judge s. G
